Are regular supernatural dramas like Grimm, Constantine, and Supernatural too realistic for you? No worries, I have the solution. Lost Girl covers the story of Bo, a succubus who spent her entire life not knowing what she was or what she could do until a fateful encounter in season 1 with the 1000 year old werewolf detective Dyson  Dyson helped introduce her into the bizarre and complex world of the Fae, supernatural beings who have warred for centuries and currently enjoy a fragile peace between the Dark and the Light. Bo breaks tradition when being forced to confront a challenge given to all Fae at a certain age that makes them choose one side or the other permanently by saving the life of her best human friend Kenzi and being allowed to become the first 'neutral' Fae.  This unexpected turn of events makes Bo a hot topic among the Fae, and over the first 4 seasons the show slowly turned from "Bo gets hired by the Light/Dark to investigate stuff as a neutral party" to "centuries long mysteries threaten to bring about the end of the world and Bo is at the heart of it." The cast is rounded out by quite a few colorful characters including  Hale and his abs, a police detective and partner of Dyson's. Died last season.  Trick, a charming, fatherly bartender at a neutral Fae bar who has a mysterious past He is the Blood King, the one responsible for ending the Fae wars and basically the retired Fae Dumbledore  Vex, a kooky dark Fae with the rare powers of mind control. Mostly a funny/weird character who either does bad things to people while laughing or just being comedic relief.  Tamsin, a Dark Fae Valkyrie who literally takes peoples souls to the afterlife and seems to play a pretty big role this season. You may have noticed a theme in the pictures. That's deliberate, because this show wholly embraces its sleezy soap drama factor and goes all into. After 4 seasons, there are still quite a few unanswered questions that stretch back to season 1/2, but the overall plot isn't the reason people watch this show, is for the pure, unadulterated cheese that the writers revel in. For example   Not pictured, the bottom half of his torso which is a giant snake body.   Anyone new or returning to the show, there is a an exhaustive fan wiki that covers literally every detail about the show and each episode if you want to get caught up or are just generally confused. Seasons 1-4 are up on Netflix as well.

I hate watched the first three seasons of this show on Netflix when I had a kidney stone. Now that I know Hale is dead, I'm finally free.

That was a pretty tightly written and suspenseful opener. Let's hope they took on board criticism of last season! They have hand-waved the Big Bad / Big Destiny thing a bit but who can blame them?

Well, that was a pretty good episode. Bo and Tamsin make an absolutely hilarious team. The Japanese Fae were a nice touch. It seemed more like an excuse to dress Tamsin up in a Kill Bill style outfit thought.

I watched the first two seasons of this and liked it, but I kind of lost the plot - it's still hot people in not very much clothing, but can I jump into season 5 and not be confused?

Probably. Or at least, no more confused than you would be if you'd watched up to this point since the end of last season was a whole bunch of bullshit that didn't make much sense.

All you need to know is that Bo's father is some evil dark entity, and that was revealed back in season 2 I think. Season 4 was a mess for the most part and I honestly think I writers had no idea where they were going because there was so much random stuff going on and mysteries upon mysteries heaped on each other that the entire meta-plot barely advanced at all.

I remember watching this show a year or two ago and wondering why they are so broke and destitute all the time but still wear designer clothes. All of them. Everybody.

I've seen the first two seasons and loved them as cheesy guilty pleasure viewing. I remember a week after the first season ended going to see Black Swan and being surprised to see Kenzi playing one of the ballerinas there. Maybe I'll get back into the show since the later seasons are on Netflix now.

Didn't know it was back! Glad to hear that they've made some changes, season 4 was such a clusterfuck of bullshit that I'd almost written the show off entirely. Since the end of True Blood I gotta have something to scratch that supernatural-guilty-pleasure itch.

Tamsin's new college girl attitude has really saved the show. She looks pretty drat hot as a cheerleader too

Her twee valley girl constant slang got grating, especially when her entire character became her stealing from everyone around her to pay for her special fae dust. Once Hale died Kenzie's character was just sad and boring.

And Bo sleeping in the box cracked me up. I also still laugh when I think about : "Eat a bag of tits! That way I won't have to hear your voice because your mouth will be full of tits!" It hit my juvenile funny bone in exactly the right spot to make me giggle like a loon.

Though Tamsin's filling the sidekick role fine too.

I'm starting to think this season is going to go the same way as the last one: dumb and nonsensical. This latest episode with all flipping back and forth (the ancients are evil, no wait they're good, actually evil still, or maybe good? Iris is good, no Iris is evil, or maybe she's good but is being made to do evil things? Hades is evil, or maybe Hades is good, or maybe he's the lesser of two evils?) and the way they've written Tamsin in the last two episodes are not filling me with hope for the second half of the season.

I've really enjoyed this run of episodes so far! The enemies power levels have been rather inconsistent which has been a bit of a shame but LG has a history with powerful enemies not actually acting powerfully. I honestly think this season has been leagues ahead of the last and we seem to finally be getting somewhere with Bo's heritage. I was nicely thrown by the last episodes reveal, I had all sorts of theories for the youngest but not that.

If Tamsin's dead, i'm done. I'm tipping she'll come back evil or reborn with all her lives.

I'd love for Hades to roll up and actually be a decent guy. "Hey, sorry about all that death and destruction business back in primitive times. Now I just want to chill and enjoy the luxuries of modern society and oh yeah let me take care of these other ancient assholes trying for a power grab. Hey Bo, when are you gonna give me some grandkids?"
